Introduction

Using the 2019 Global Attitudes & Trends data set from the Pew Internet & American Life website, this short report summarizes participant responses to the research question, Do perceptions about various U.S. policies under President Trump vary by country? for four different Trump era policies.

The data and code book are available on the Pew website (need free account) or download them with the link below:

Data

To answer my research question, I used a subset of the data that included survey participants responses to the following questions: As I read some policies of U.S. President Donald Trump, please tell me if you approve or disapprove of each one. How about [INSERT ITEM]?

The items included: U.S. withdrawal from international climate change agreements; Building a wall on the border between the U.S. and Mexico; U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear weapons agreement; and Allowing fewer immigrants into the U.S.

Results

Maybe add some text here pointing out anything interesting or unexpected in the table that the readers might want to view more closely. Also explain anything in the table that suggests how the research question might eventually be answered.

Table 1. Overall optimism about culture, wealth gap, jobs, and education for 10,000 survey participants in 5 countries.

Area Optimism n (%)
Our country’s culture Optimistic 922 (65.9)
Pessimistic 457 (32.6)
Neither 21 (1.5)
Reducing the gap between the rich and poor Optimistic 479 (34.5)
Pessimistic 875 (63.0)
Neither 34 (2.4)
Our country’s education system Optimistic 665 (46.9)
Pessimistic 731 (51.6)
Neither 21 (1.5)
The availability of well-paying jobs Optimistic 655 (46.6)
Pessimistic 725 (51.5)
Neither 27 (1.9)

You might include some text about how optimism differs by country (Figure 1) and point out some of the important differences between countries on different items.

Conclusion

After all the methods and results, you would usually summarize the key points from your analyses and add some context by connecting your results to published evidence relevant to your work. Here is where you might add citations. More discussion of the findings that cite some of the literature in this area (Kolencik 2022). Another statement about the literature and citing it goes here (Sully et al. 2022).
